I went to see the autumn foliage and was shocked when I saw the photos… Things you absolutely must not miss in your fall outing outfit

Every autumn, three or four close friends often get together to go see the fall foliage. Since it has been a while since we last met, we take photos of each other, walk along the leafy paths, and stop by a cafe with a nice atmosphere.

However, in group photos, outfits where the jacket looks thick or the area around the face appears dark are particularly noticeable. This time, let's take a look at an outfit featuring a deep burgundy short wool jacket paired with a cream ivory ribbed knit and dark indigo semi-wide denim that is perfect for both autumn foliage photos and fall outings.

If your face looks dull in autumn foliage photos, start by checking the color of your top.

If you imagine three friends standing side by side under a maple tree taking a photo, you can see the difference based on the color of their clothes. If one person is wearing a dark jacket buttoned up to their neck while the others are wearing a light-colored knit sweater underneath, the brightness around their faces may appear different.

Especially under the shade of trees, light doesn't fall evenly on the face, so dark tops can look even more stifling. Of course, the color of the clothes alone doesn't change the photo; the direction of the sunlight also has an impact.

For this outfit, I wore a cream-ivory ribbed knit under a deep burgundy short wool jacket. The lighter color peeks through the collar of the jacket, and the rounded neckline of the knit is also naturally visible. When taking photos, it would be better to choose a spot where soft light shines on your face rather than standing in the shade with your back to the autumn leaves.

Short wool jackets are pretty, but they make your shoulders look wide? The problem is the length and thickness.

When taking group photos wearing a wool jacket, the shoulders and arms can sometimes look bigger than expected. If the jacket fabric is thick and the inner knit is also substantial, the sleeves fill out completely, and the arms appear to puff out to the sides even when lowered.

I chose a deep burgundy short wool jacket with a length that ends just above the hips and a body-hugging shoulder line. The hem doesn't flare out too much, so when worn with semi-wide denim, the upper body doesn't look excessively wide.

If you are debating whether to buy a new jacket, it is a good idea to start by taking out the wool jackets you already have in your closet. The shape of the sleeves can look quite different when worn with a thick cable knit compared to a thin ribbed knit. Even if you need a jacket on the morning you start viewing the autumn foliage, you can get hot after walking around for a while during the day. Therefore, a knit sweater with a neat design that looks good even when you take off your jacket and sit in a cafe is a good choice.

Why Autumn Outing Denim, Dark Blue Semi-Wide Look Different in Photos

When enjoying the autumn foliage, people often capture moving moments rather than standing photos. Whether walking side-by-side with a friend or sitting on a bench, the shape of your legs can look different depending on how your pant legs fall.

The dark indigo semi-wide denim features a fit that is roomy in the thighs without flared out excessively below the knees. It matches well with a deep burgundy jacket, and the light wash isn't too intense, giving it a calm feel. The hem length is especially important for semi-wide denim. If it cuts off awkwardly above the ankle, a gap forms between the boots and the pants, and if it is too long, the fabric piles up on the shoes.

You should check to make sure the back of the waist doesn't gap excessively when sitting on a bench, and also check if the pocket openings are gaping open. This can be a more important concern during outings where you walk and sit repeatedly all day long.

Things to check when choosing ankle boots on a leaf-strewn autumn path

Chocolate brown ankle boots are a color that goes well with a deep burgundy jacket and dark blue denim. However, when going to see the autumn foliage, there is something you need to check before the color: the sole and the ankle opening.

Even on walking trails with beautiful autumn foliage, there may be wet stones or dirt beneath the fallen leaves. Boots with good traction are more suitable for walking than those with overly smooth soles.

You should choose boots with a low, stable heel and check that the ankle opening isn't too tight. In particular, if the front of your ankle is pressed down when going down stairs, it can be uncomfortable even over short distances. If you plan to walk for a long time with friends, it is better to avoid wearing your new boots for the first time on the same day. Even if they look nice in photos, if your feet hurt, you might want to take them off before you even arrive at the cafe.

For a fall foliage viewing bag, the position on the shoulder is more important than the size.

When I go autumn foliage viewing with friends, I tend to pack small items like lip balm or a handkerchief in addition to my phone and wallet. It is more comfortable to have a size that I can naturally sling over my shoulder rather than having to put the bag down every time I take a photo. This time, I chose a taupe beige medium shoulder bag. When worn over a short wool jacket, the bottom of the bag reaches around my hips.

If the bag straps are too long, they can sway beside your thighs while walking and even obscure the hem of your jacket. Since the strap length changes depending on whether you wear it over a thick outer layer or just with a knit sweater, an adjustable design is convenient to use. If I were taking photos of the autumn foliage with friends, I would choose a deep burgundy short wool jacket for this outfit. Pairing it with a cream ivory knit sweater and dark blue denim creates a look that suits the autumn leaf paths and is also great for everyday wear after the outing.

When going to take photos of autumn foliage, are you drawn to jackets in deep colors like burgundy? Or do you prefer bright outerwear like ivory or beige?
